Critical recommendations
medium
Bowling
Tight but not threatening
Economy of 3.43 is excellent but a wicket every 59 balls is slow. Develop a genuine wicket-taking variation and attack the stumps more.
Strengths
- ✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 3.43.
How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 31 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 43 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
- Level
- ×0.30 for the level played (Club 11). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 11 matches since 26 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 2 catches + 2 run outs (1 direct, 1 assisted) in 13 matches — 0.31 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 11 innings at 19.3 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 8 wickets in 11 matches bowled in (of 13 played) — 0.73 per match at 33.9, economy 3.43, strike rate 59.3.
